I think thats fine but they still need to do something to bring the Type 10s acceleration up to what it should be. It should be able to out accelerate Type 90s by a good margin.
Maybe they can within the code increase HP by a good bit and in game keep it saying 1200 hp to simulate the better acceleration?
Here is another even better video this time both are on rougher terrain Type 10 leaves the Type 90 in the dust

I found this image of what appears to be a Type 87 with a Type 62/Type 74 MMG mounted in front of the commanders hatch.
I haven’t seen this sort of thing before, but it could be an interesting little back up MG to deal with any open top vehicles when your guns are knocked out.

I have a question about the type 10’s firepower. The in-game muzzle velocity is 1780 m/s, and the 10 apfsds bullet has a length of 748 mm and a diameter of 24 mm, equivalent to the L55/DM53. However, what is the reason why penetration is inferior to L44 and DM53? Also, 10apfsds, DM53, etc. should have considered the opponent’s armor and taken countermeasures against ERA, but why can’t they penetrate ERA at all?
It’s Gaijin’s way of balancing the 4 second reload. The Type 10 AP should have similar performance to DM53 fired from an L44 at the very least.
It’s not that inferior.
662 pen for DM53, and 660 for Type 10. [2km 60 degrees]
That’s similar.
Penetration is not a balancing method.
3.5 actually
What do you guys think of giving the Type 10 a “rapid fire mode” in the future when stronger MBTs are added?
At least it seems like the Type 10 might be able to reload even faster then the regular 3-4secs we have seen, such as videos like the one below where the gun is reloaded in around over a second…in WT this would be similar to helicopters that can change fire modes, with the Type 10 if you use this mode you will run out of ammo fast and they can also add the overheat mechanic to this gun maybe after 4 or 5 shots.
The benefits would be that the Type 10 would be extremely dangerous in close quarters due to that reload but you would have to watch your gun from overheating.

Do you think it’s possible to reload faster? or is it something else?
3.4 second loading speed is real, but I still have my doubts about being able to fire in 2 seconds.

We don’t have propper transmission, no armor, no spaa right now when we need at least something
Also look at italy with their ~10.0 tank at 11.3
We are not getting a single thing when they release t90 and such unless we create shitstorm big enough

Can I just say, the Type 74 horsepower buff is awesome
They have been transformed from sluggish, awkward vehicles to play into something that I am finally able to have fun with again, which is absolutely awesome because they were the entire reason I ground out the japanese tech tree in the first place.
Mobility has been greatly improved, despite the still low reverse speed. While I still think they struggle within their BR, they have become much more playable again, because they were practically unplayable before.

Even type74 have better acceleration then type10 now, what a joke
is it me or the tow-2 launch zone of the ah-1s is higher now?
the lowest zone is at the 0° so if you are slightly above the battlefield, you need to guide the tow from above to below, which mean crazy tow movement.
just why?
Its launch zone, not guidance zone, just angle for a second to launch it properly then go back into horisontal

Type 11 as possible SPAA and other vehicle suggestions here in case someone missed this sub-forum like I did

^A new (old and repurposed) topic for Japanese Tags and Topics that don’t fit in this page.
^Cool & Somewhat relaxing video which gives some nice angles of the type 10 (Including the underside of the turret), as well as good audio and visuals.

yeah? i write it like that too…
what i meant was i felt like the previous launch zone was lower than the currently 0° on the lowest launch zone.
maybe i was mistaken, it’s not like the ah-1s a good helicopter anyways. especially the atgm guidance changes.
